If you're still undecided

[bu villain]

There is dissent everywhere in science because science by its nature, can't prove anything true. It can only prove things false. What are called scientific facts are really just ideas which we haven't been able to disprove despite lots of trying. There is never 100% concensus on anything but that doesn't mean we shouldn't take action on the evidence we have. And in the case of climate change, there is evidence for both sides but one side has a hell of a lot more evidence than the other. As with all science we have to move forward in the face of uncertainty, knowing there is always a chance we are wrong. To avoid action because there is a small percentage of dissenters risks severe consequences for the entire planet.

No you didn't. Nor did I accuse you of saying that. However, you did say that you didn't believe in man's effect on climate change despite the fact that a large majority of relevant scientist say the data is convincing. I'm just trying to figure out why you trust the small minority of scientists over the vast majority. If there was some sort of conspiracy to lie about global warming, it would have to be one of the most massive global conspiracies ever.
